Gonzaga forward Adam Morrison, the nation's leading scorer last season, is expected to forgo his senior year and declare for the NBA draft, according to numerous reports citing unnamed sources. Morrison has not commented on the reports, but has scheduled a press conference at Gonzaga for Wednesday afternoon. USA TODAY has not independently confirmed the report.

The Orlando Magic declared their willingness to wait for a payoff with the first pick of the NBA draft, selecting Atlanta prep forward Dwight Howard on Thursday night. Howard became the third high schooler taken first in the NBA draft since 2001.

Now Gonzaga knows what it's like to get knocked out by a plucky underdog. Once a Cinderella, the second-seeded Bulldogs were blown out by Nevada, 91-72 Saturday in the second round. Kevinn Pinkney scored 20 points, Todd Okeson had 19 and Kirk Snyder had 18 for 10th-seeded Wolf Pack. The loss snapped a school-record 21-game winning streak for Gonzaga.
